Happy Birthday Fariha

Our very good friend FARIHA just surpassed her teenage days and turned 20! Of course we had a little dinner get together with some friends, pizza and a cake :-) 

I wanted to make something special for her and whipped up this design. She does love her colors so i made an attempt to color the piece before I added the photo and framed it. 

Lucky for me she loved the colors. Don't get me wrong, I love coloring but I found that it was different when your color in something that is for you and when you color it in for someone else. But always a first time to do something. 

So from the 'sisterhood of soul sisters' Here's to wishing Fariha a wonderful journey out of teen-kingdom and into her Youth years. As for me, this will be the beginning of many more colorful projects.  

(I am still getting the hang of creating pieces based on themes. I usually just doodle away when I have spare time to need to get over a writers block, or workers block :-)

Until next blog...

Hippie: Colors of the World

Doodle #2 began to pass some time; 

Peace; Women; Men; Feminism; Gender Equality and so much more. there are hidden words in the images :-) See which ones you can find. 

As much as I love the black & White, plain feel I must admit I like the colors too. 

  

These can be bought from ACT Advocacy for $2.00fjd (Suva) postage charge applies for out of Suva, Fiji delivery. 

If you want a message personalized in it contact me and I will design it for you. 

Art can be a good source of employment. It is very time consuming and it would be great if people appreciate the efforts that come with the price. 

Doodle 1

Feminism! A word I was uncomfortable with for a long time because I thought it meant "hating men". 

Feminism is a powerful word. It empowers women and reminds others that women still have large struggle despite living in the 21st century with modern technology, resources and education.

FEMINISM - everyone needs it. Without feminism we would not have progressed this far because we would not have fought, raised hell or put our foot down. 

one step is all it took. from the first image (feminism) I began to cover the page in ink. 

It is still work in progress :-)
